It isn't apples to apples. Anyone who expects BMW's to match Chevy small block V8's in dollars per mods needs to have their head examined.

The M3 in the video isn't a joke at all. The owner just has it set up for looks and not performance. He needs to figure out what he wants to do, be fast or look good? If he wants to be faster there are some things he needs to do like get a tune and ditch the Hartge 20's.

What exactly would he need to do to win that run? Ditching the wheels ain't gonna do it...

I see nothing but negative sh*& hating on BMW when I come to this site but it's interesting all the same. Since when did BMW ever focus on having the fastest car in a straight line? Especially these latest generations of BMW's. This outcome comes as no surprise to me at all. The M has less displacement and more weight, and it's up against a Z06 which is one hell of a car to beat.

Honestly it's mostly from narrow minded people. Some can't appreciate engineering or different approaches to motors and cars.

The N54 has bred a single dimensional enthusiast mindset based on superiority of a vehicle built around acceleration performance. Even attempting to point this out to the people who are stuck in this mindset is not processed by said people.

It's like trying to explain fine wine to a beer drinker. They just know one is cheap and gets them drunk.

Ugh, this misinformation on forums is damn ridiculous. Especially when it's so easy to just simply search. Everything is on google. The E92 M3 weighs 3552 lbs. Inside line shows the weight at 3700 lbs but have tested a few in the 3500 range. Realistically, the E92 weighs 120 lbs more than the E46 M3. Not that much weight considering the overall size difference. ,
